Welcome to the Paper Players last challenge of the year. What a great color combination!
I made my card on December 3rd, the day that Demonstrators were able to order from the new, Mini 2020 Catalog. So, to celebrate the day, I used the Clubhouse Stamp Set and Golf Club Die Set, which I pre-ordered at On Stage.

Golfer in 3D
The first thing I did was stamp the golfer in Early Espresso Ink on Pressed Petals Designer Paper. I thought the burlap design would give the golfer some nice texture, which blends with Crumb Cake. It was really fun cutting him out with his die from the Golf Club Die Set.
TIP: I layered him with a second cut of Crumb Cake Cardstock for thickness.
Needing to use the color “gold,” I found a piece of Shimmer Detailed Laser-Cut DSP with an oval in the middle. This special paper is white on one side, and pretty, shimmery gold, on the side I’m using. I layered this on Seaside Spray Cardstock, and to create depth for the golfer’s scene, I used a layering Ovals Die to cut a hole through the layer.
Next, I stamped trees from the Winter Woods Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock. After adding Adhesive Foam Strips to the edge of the tree’s layer, I attached the oval layer. This created a window for the golfer, and the ball he hit over the trees.
I stamped the sentiment, “I hope the next year is full of green fairways, blue skies & short putts,” in Early Espresso Ink.
This card will go to one of the golfers in my family. I’m so happy Stampin’ Up! designed this set!
